Synopsis

This module manages Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Arista EOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary			A dictionary of LLDP interfaces options.
	name string		Full name of the interface (i.e. Ethernet1).
	receive boolean	Choices: no yes	Enable/disable LLDP RX on an interface.
	transmit boolean	Choices: no yes	Enable/disable LLDP TX on an interface.
state string		Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

Tested against Arista EOS 4.20.10M
This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.

Examples

# Using merged
#
#
# ------------
# Before state
# ------------
#
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
#    no lldp receive
# interface Ethernet2
#    no lldp transmit

- name: Merge provided configuration with running configuration
  eos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1
        transmit: False
      - name: Ethernet2
        transmit: False
    state: merged

#
# ------------
# After state
# ------------
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
#    no lldp transmit
#    no lldp receive
# interface Ethernet2
#    no lldp transmit


# Using replaced
#
#
# ------------
# Before state
# ------------
#
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
#    no lldp receive
# interface Ethernet2
#    no lldp transmit

- name: Replace existing LLDP configuration of specified interfaces with provided configuration
  eos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1
        transmit: False
    state: replaced

#
# ------------
# After state
# ------------
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
#    no lldp transmit
# interface Ethernet2
#    no lldp transmit


# Using overridden
#
#
# ------------
# Before state
# ------------
#
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
#    no lldp receive
# interface Ethernet2
#    no lldp transmit

- name: Override the LLDP configuration of all the interfaces with provided configuration
  eos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1
        transmit: False
    state: overridden

#
# ------------
# After state
# ------------
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
#    no lldp transmit
# interface Ethernet2


# Using deleted
#
#
# ------------
# Before state
# ------------
#
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
#    no lldp receive
# interface Ethernet2
#    no lldp transmit

- name: Delete LLDP configuration of specified interfaces (or all interfaces if none are specified)
  eos_lldp_interfaces:
    state: deleted

#
# ------------
# After state
# ------------
#
# veos#show run | section ^interface
# interface Ethernet1
# interface Ethernet2

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
after list	when changed	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list	always	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
commands list	always	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['interface Ethernet1', 'no lldp transmit']

Status

This module is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface. [preview]
This module is maintained by the Ansible Network Team. [network]
